Chapter 124: Banks
After completing all the formalities, Jia Yi left the association, and the carriage outside the door was still waiting outside, and Jia Yi sat up.
"Go to the bank first, I'll pack your carriage today. ”
"Okay, thank you, sir. The coachman shook the reins of his horse and said happily.
The carriage grunted forward, and soon arrived at the bank, and after Jia got out of the car, he suddenly reacted, unlike the sewage flowing sideways on the dock, and the fishy smell everywhere, there was no bad smell when the mage association was just now, and now there is no smell at the bank.
It seems that the city has been well planned, and the sewage is treated very well.
Entering the bank, the interior space is very wide, and it seems very bright, there are several huge windows on the wall, which are covered with pure white glass, large pieces of colorless transparent glass.
The whole bank gives a completely different style.
Jia Yi came to the counter and sat down: "I want to exchange coins, how to exchange the Eagle coins of the Silver Sword Empire." ”
"The silver coin is 1 to 80.42 cents, the gold coin is 1 to 0.852 gold, the eagle coin is a bit rough and contains more impurity metals. ”
Jia Yi took out his money bag and handed it to the other party: "Then help me exchange all these coins." ”
Because of the precious metals used as currency, the exchange ratio of gold and silver coins is unexpectedly different. If someone here converts all the money into silver coins, then into eagle coins, and then goes to the Silver Sword Empire to exchange them for gold coins, and then comes back to exchange them, there is a big difference in price.
Kaichi was aware of the problem at the first time, but unfortunately this loophole could no longer attract him.
The money he carried with him was not much, and he used a lot of it on the way, and now he only had more than a thousand gold coins, but if he needed, he could withdraw money from the branches of the Valoka Chamber of Commerce in various places, as long as the local Chamber of Commerce had enough money, he could withdraw no more than 10,000 gold coins, even if he didn't have so much cash, he could also ask the Chamber of Commerce to guarantee it.
"We do not exchange magic stones and gems here, if you want, you can go to the Jewelry Street and the Mage Guild to sell or exchange them. The counter staff picked out a few small gems that had accidentally slipped into the purse.
The speed of the other party was very fast, the gold and silver coins were divided into a pile, and then in front of a box on the side, a few dials in front of the toggle, and soon, the gold coins exchanged by Jia Yi were calculated, and at this time, his own mental arithmetic had just been calculated.
Jia Yi couldn't help but be interested in the mechanical device next to the counter, he could see that this device did not have any magical structure, it was a purely mechanical structure, and he didn't expect that the calculation speed was similar to his mental arithmetic.
Although he had never practiced mental arithmetic, thanks to the powerful mental power of the mage, his calculation speed was very fast, not much slower than that of modern calculators.
The counter prepared the coins that needed to be exchanged, and when he came back, he saw Kaichi staring at the mechanical device and introduced him, "That's the mechanical computer, which we commissioned Master Pascal of the Supreme Council to make. It is possible to do addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, with which we can calculate much faster. ”
Jia Yi didn't expect the bank's equipment to be so good, even the mechanical computer was there, the mage's computing power was very strong, and the mental arithmetic speed was very fast, the mechanical computer was limited by the structure, and it was not much faster than a gray-robed mage, and it was a little behind compared to the white-robed mage.
However, mechanical computers are the source of electronic computers, and with the continuous development of magic and the increase in computing power requirements, perhaps one day mechanical computers will be eliminated and replaced by electronic computers or magic computers.
The counter said to Jiayi: "You have exchanged a total of 1,089 gold coins and 69 cents and 5 as, do you need gold coupons? These gold coupons can be used as gold coins in Moshacher, and they can also be exchanged for gold coins of equivalent value in the bank." ”
"Then get me half of the gold coupons, and exchange the rest for gold coins. ”
The counter counted out a few gold coupons, and said at the same time: "What a coincidence that you came, in the past, our gold coupons were made of metal sheets, but now with paper, we commissioned the paper mill to print a batch of special paper to print gold coupons, and now the gold coupons are much lighter." In the future, if you receive a metal gold coupon, you can come to the bank to exchange it for paper gold coupons or gold coins. ”
She then took out several rolls of paper and put them on the counter in front of Kaichi, and took out several coins of different sizes, all of which were pushed down in front of Kaichi.
All the paper rolls were gold coins, a roll of 100 gold, scattered gold coins, and small silver coins, he picked up a gold coin and looked at it, and sensed it with magic power, these gold coins were not completely pure gold, but there were fewer impurities. These coins use a special minting technique, which is more pure, but not too soft. However, the silver content in the cent coin is much smaller, it is a small silver coin, and the ace is a copper-zinc alloy.
He looked at the gold coupons again, these gold coupons were very beautifully printed, with dark green patterns on them, and he also felt a faint fluctuation of magic power, and looked at it carefully, and he actually felt the composition of the elf paper, and the ink should also be specially modulated, which played a good role in anti-counterfeiting.
Putting all the coins away and riding in a carriage, he went to the town hall to see if there were any properties to buy.
He was going to settle in Moshacher, at least for a long time, so a property was a must.
The town hall looks far worse than the banks, but it's much busier inside, and the flow of people is like a bazaar.
Fortunately, as a mage, you have the privilege of taking the "VIP channel".
Although there are a large number of mages in Moshacher, and the large area formed by Moshacher and its surroundings may be concentrated in more than half of the mages in the entire North Forest Continent, it is still the majority of ordinary people, even if they add apprentices.
"You don't have any good properties here, I heard you have another property listing, can you show me it?"
Jia Yi said to one of the aunts who received him.
The aunt looks very burly, and it seems that she used to be a professional, but now her body has become bloated. Hearing Jia Yi's words, she showed a helpless smile, went back and flipped through it again, took out another document, and handed it to Jia Yi.
"The reception always introduces this to every mage, but there are no overly special properties in this list, all the houses are on another list. ”
Jia Yi smiled, stretched out her hand to take the list, she said that she was actually right, the houses on this list are all on another list, the difference is that the properties on this list are all selected, and the advantages and disadvantages are also written, unlike the previous list, the information on it is very general, if you want to find the right one, you have to go to the field to investigate.
"This house looks good, is it still there?" Jia Yi fell in love with a house located on the outskirts of the city, on a small hillside to the north, with good lighting and surroundings.
Aunt probed over: "This is the residence left by Master Kailuo, the location is really good, but he failed to forcibly break through to become a white-robed mage, and there is no descendant, no one will deal with it for three years, so this house was repossessed by our city hall, and the arrears will be retained for 5 years after it is sold, and if no one comes to collect it, it will be owned by our city hall." ”
She then took out a key from the cabinet and handed it to Jiayi: "This house is good in all respects, but it hasn't been maintained for a long time, you need to deal with it yourself, you can register it, and then take the key to see it yourself, if you think it's suitable, you can come back and register for purchase." ”
She looked at the list and said, "This house has a total of 1,240 gold, and there is a simple defensive circle inside, but it is no longer effective, and it needs to be repaired by itself before it can continue to be used." After buying a house, you need to pay a management fee of 30 gold every year, if you don't pay it for three years, or we confirm that the owner has died, and no one comes to go through the inheritance procedures within three years, we will take back the house, just like the house sold now, the sale proceeds are kept for 5 years, and after 5 years, no one still comes to inherit, and the money will be collected by the city hall. ”
Jia Yi took the key: "This house is really not cheap, is there a discount?"
"Sorry no, because it's sold by the city hall, so the price can't be changed, if it's not for the mage to come, this house needs to be auctioned after a while, and if it is not sold, you can use the reserve price to buy. ”
This price is not too expensive in Moshacher, after all, it is an independent small manor, and it is already a great advantage to buy it at this price, and the information on the first list is relatively vague, I am afraid that this house will be deliberately unsold.
